Chapter 438 Huang Zhong's Decision! Red Blood Knife: Blood-Eating Knife!

Unlike the madness of the Wuhuan and Xiongnu in the north, in the southwest, Sun Ce and Sun Quan led an army of 30,000 and swept across the entire southwest barbarian tribe. Those barbarian soldiers were not even able to fight against the soldiers led by Sun Ce, and were not Sun Ce's opponents at all.

Because the elite forces of the southwest barbarian tribe had long been taken away by Meng Huo who rose up in Yongchang County, the ones who remained here were nothing more than barbarians from small tribes, who Meng Huo looked down on, or there were medium-sized tribes that the two sides did not like, but there was no large tribe, which led to the uneven strength of the barbarians fighting Sun Ce now.

Some were directly destroyed by Sun Ce in one encounter, and some could fight for two moves, but basically they could not hold on for too long. Although Sun Ce killed all the barbarian tribes with great momentum, he did not have a high-end general, not even a second-rate general.

Sun Ce led Sun Quan to rampage through the southern barbarians, slaughtering more than 20 tribes, but he did not kill any generals, so Sun Jian's goal failed.

The barbarian soldiers recruited by Meng Huo to Yongchang County were now facing the siege of more than 100,000 troops led by Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang had just returned from the Western Regions and learned that his Yizhou had been occupied by someone else. How could he tolerate this? Therefore, he led almost all the troops of Yizhou to Yongchang County.

After the end of the Jingzhou War, this was the only war that took place within the Han Dynasty, and the war was very fierce at the beginning. The eight generals under Liu Zhang led soldiers into Yongchang County from eight directions and began to attack Yongchang County at the same time.

Although Meng Huo had taken in all the large tribes of the southern barbarians, he was far from the number of soldiers in Yizhou, including the upper-level combat power of first-class generals. They could only rely on the rugged terrain in Yongchang County to fight against the soldiers of Yizhou.

At this moment, in Buwei County, the seat of Yongchang County, Meng Huo was putting on his armor and preparing to go into battle. Three of the eight first-class generals of Yizhou had entered Yongchang County from the north, which was also the location of Liu Zhang. Meng Huo was going there to fight against Liu Zhang.

Sun Ce was also preparing to return to Yangzhou at the same time. In the southwest of Yangzhou, there was a race called Shanyue, which divided the land and governed itself. It was there that Sun Ce superimposed the characteristics of a hero. The southwestern barbarians were too weak, and there was no general that could allow Sun Ce to superimpose legendary general points. It was meaningless for Sun Ce, but Sun Quan gained a lot in this battle.

Sun Quan had followed Zhou Yu to fight Zhang Liao many times before, and each time he ended up in a big defeat, and each time Zhang Liao defeated the majority with fewer troops, which left a big psychological shadow on Sun Quan. Now Sun Quan saw that he led his troops to easily defeat the barbarians, which gave Sun Quan unprecedented confidence. Sun Quan was also promoted to a second-rate general in the battle.

The peace in the southwest and the violence in the north formed an extremely distinct contrast. At this moment, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao were facing the pursuit of three famous generals. They had been fleeing for a day and a night without any stagnation. They were intercepted twice, but they finally fought and rushed out.

This also reduced their already small number of cavalry to only 800 cavalry, and most of them were injured. They had been fighting for a long time. When they fought with the Wuhuan cavalry, they had basically no physical consumption, but on the way of escape, they had no way to kill people to restore their physical strength. Now their physical strength is on the verge of collapse.

Huang Zhong and Ma Chao were at the end of the team, setting an example to block the pursuit of Cao's army, and striving to allow more comrades to escape here.

"Mengqi, this is not a solution. We must make a decision!"

"No, we go together and die together!"

Ma Chao knew what Huang Zhong meant and immediately disagreed. While speaking, he turned around and stabbed out with a spear, throwing out a suicide charge to delay the Cao army. The corpse knocked down a group of Cao soldiers who had the same idea behind him.

"Mengqi! If this continues, we will all die here!"

"Then die here!"

Ma Chao waved his spear and shouted at the same time. Huang Zhong simply turned around and rode backwards, completely trusting the prairie fire. After turning around, it was much easier for Huang Zhong to shoot the pursuing Cao army, but problems followed. Huang Zhong simply didn't have so many arrows to use. Even the arrows left by the cavalry were given to Huang Zhong, but they were still not enough for Huang Zhong to use. At this moment, there were only 6 arrows left in Huang Zhong's quiver, which were used to use the meteor arrow skill, and he could no longer continue to shoot Cao soldiers.

Huang Zhong saw that Ma Chao disagreed and could only speak again.

"Mengqi, the Lord asked us to come here to train us. If we all die here, all the Lord's efforts will be in vain."

While speaking, Huang Zhong had already pulled out the blood-red sword on his back. The sound of the sword coming out of the sheath was like the roar of a ferocious beast. This was the third time the sword had been unsheathed in a few days. Before this, the sword had never been unsheathed so frequently. Frequent unsheathing and long-term use had made the evil spirit in the sword almost uncontrollable.

"Old General, you are right."

Ma Chao's voice was deep, and he no longer opposed Huang Zhong's words. Huang Zhong smiled and just wanted Ma Chao to retreat first, but before he could say anything, he was blocked by Ma Chao's next words.

"Old General, you retreat first, I will cover you. We will meet at the border military town of Bingzhou in two days. If I am not there in two days, then you don't have to wait for me."

"No, this is absolutely not allowed!"

Huang Zhong quickly refused, but Ma Chao said in an unquestionable tone.

"Old General, I heard from the lord before that your son has just been cured by Hua Tuo, the divine doctor. You haven't even enjoyed the joy of family for a few days, and the battle of Jingzhou has begun again. If you die here, what will happen to your son and sister-in-law? What do you think they should do? I am a lonely man, and I am just suitable for doing things like covering the rear."

Ma Chao's tone was resolute and his eyes were firm. He was about to turn his horse's head and take Li Feisha to fight against Cao's army. Huang Zhong hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Even if I'm ill, my lord and my clan will take care of my family and will never let them suffer any injustice. Besides, I'm already so old, and it's worth it for you young people to survive."

Huang Zhong's face was full of smiles, but there was a hint of sadness under his smile. Huang Xu's illness had just been cured, and he didn't have time to enjoy the time when his child was always by his side. Now they were going to be separated from each other forever. No matter which of them stayed to stop Cao's army, the final result would be certain death. It was impossible for them to survive under the siege of Cao's three famous generals and tens of thousands of cavalry.

However, thinking that Huang Xu could grow up well and take care of his mother until her death, he had nothing to regret. Since it was the lord who gave him such an opportunity, he would definitely repay the lord. Ma Chao was so young, and staying with the lord would definitely be more useful than himself.

There was only so much he could do for his lord. He could only use himself to exchange for a young man with greater potential. Ma Chao would definitely grow into a stronger general than himself in the future, and would naturally be of greater help to his lord. Thinking of this, Huang Zhong no longer hesitated, and immediately turned his horse's head, waving the blood-red knife and rushed towards the enemy.

"No! Old general!"

Ma Chao looked at Huang Zhong's departing figure, his eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were about to burst.

"Mengqi, go! Don't let me die in vain!"

Huang Zhong no longer persuaded him kindly, and instead rebuked him harshly. Ma Chao, who originally wanted to turn back to help Huang Zhong, hesitated for a moment. Yes, if he turned back, Huang Zhong would undoubtedly die in vain, and the final result would still be that the two of them would die here together. Gritting his teeth, Ma Chao shouted in a low voice.

"Go!"

After hearing Ma Chao's voice, Huang Zhong finally felt relieved, waving the blood-red knife and fighting with the Cao army that had surrounded him. Looking at Huang Zhong who had rushed into the middle of the army, Cao Ren's eyes were stern.

"Huang Zhong wants to use his own life to delay time, so that Ma Chao has time to escape."

"No, the Prime Minister has ordered that they must all be killed, and no one can be left alive! If they are left alive, Liu Bei will seize this opportunity and attack Xuchang in a large scale, and then it will be difficult to deal with!"

Xu Chu said sternly. Before coming, Cao Cao gave them a death order, that Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and the people they brought must all die here no matter what, otherwise Liu Bei will be furious, and in a rage, he may lead all the troops, including Guan Yu, to attack Xuchang. At that time, with Guan Yu there, they really have no confidence in winning.

"We're going to chase Ma Chao. Zhongkang, you lead the troops to kill Huang Zhong. Kill one first!"

Cao Ren immediately made a decision and took Xiahou Dun with him, preparing to bypass the battlefield opened by Huang Zhong and chase Ma Chao directly. Huang Zhong saw the two people taking a detour and immediately understood. After a while, he stepped on the saddle of a Cao soldier, the second foot on the horse's back, and the third foot took advantage of the Cao soldier's arrow and jumped high. During the jump, he bit the Red Blood Knife with his teeth and took off the Eight Treasures Kirin Bow on his back. He drew the bow and put the arrow, and a blue light suddenly burst out.

The blue light rushed straight to Cao Ren who took a detour from the left, blocking Cao Ren's pursuit route, but he couldn't stop Xiahou Dun on the right. However, if only one person was chasing, Ma Chao's chance of survival was still very high. Huang Zhong could only do this.

Putting away the longbow, Huang Zhong took out the Red Blood Knife from his mouth. Looking at the blood-red knife in his hand, Huang Zhong smiled bitterly, then turned a circle, and slashed with a knife, killing all the Cao army within a few meters nearby.

"Until now, I haven't been able to figure out what your limit is. Today, let's try it. I will satisfy you no matter how much blood you want to eat."

Huang Zhong said, sheathing the Red Blood Knife, and then unsheathing it, and then slashing the knife across his palm. This scene stunned the Cao army that had just surrounded him.

The sharp blade slashed, but no blood was seen. The blood oozing from Huang Zhong's palm began to fly towards the Red Blood Knife, as if the Red Blood Knife was actively absorbing Huang Zhong's blood. Before this, the Red Blood Knife could only obtain temporary effects after being stained with blood, but it had never actively swallowed blood. Today was the first time.

Huang Zhong watched his blood continue to flow out, until the Red Blood Sword broke automatically, the blood in Huang Zhong's palm stopped flowing out. Huang Zhong took a deep breath and tried to keep himself in the best condition. The Red Blood Sword swallowed too much blood just now, so much that Huang Zhong felt dizzy.

After swallowing the blood, the Red Blood Sword changed from red to golden yellow. Huang Zhong didn't know what to call this sword. How could a golden sword be called a Red Blood Sword? At the same time, he felt a little disappointed. Why didn't he figure it out before? The Red Blood Sword, a blood-eating sword, must eat blood, and how could the blood of those minions match it?

Huang Zhong still didn't think clearly about why he didn't trigger this state when he scratched his palm last time, and he had used the Scarlet Blood Knife like this more than once. Before that, he had discovered that the first stain on the Scarlet Blood Knife was after it was unsheathed. The stronger the blood-dropping master is, the stronger the temporary effect provided by the red-blooded knife will be.

That's why he cleared the cavalry near him just now, and then sheathed the red-blooded sword and then unsheathed it. Only in this way can the red-blooded sword be stained with his blood and provide him with a more powerful temporary effect.

But this time, it was obviously different. Not only did the color of the Scarlet Blood Knife change, but even the temporary effect that was supposed to be provided was not provided. More importantly, even if the temporary effect was not provided, Huang Zhong was definitely holding the Scarlet Blood Knife now. He is much stronger than before.

"kill!"

Huang Zhong shouted loudly and stopped thinking about these things. He held up the red blood sword and stepped across the prairie fire to fight Cao Jun again. A golden light kept flying in the battlefield. Wherever it passed, there were Cao Jun's corpses. And as more and more people were killed, the dizziness and dizziness that Huang Zhong had due to lack of blood at the beginning had long since disappeared. Now Huang Zhong only feels that he is full of energy, and the energy and blood all over his body are bursting, and there is endless energy. strength.

Moreover, around the Red Blood Knife, a golden light visible to the naked eye has appeared. The golden light is like the actual sword light, which can also kill the enemy.

"Stop trying to be cruel! Accept your fate!"

Xu Chu no longer allowed Huang Zhong to slaughter his soldiers, and carried his own wind-cleaving knife to kill Huang Zhong in the crowd. The surrounding Cao soldiers backed down one after another, not daring to approach the battlefield between the two. The aftermath of the battle between the two could kill They were thrown to the ground, let alone participating in the battle between the two, they were the real cannon fodder.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that today I would accidentally discover the secret that I have been asking for! Come on, fight until the last moment!"

Huang Zhong waved the golden red blood knife and slashed at Xu Chu. Xu Chu also waved the wind splitting knife and confronted Huang Zhong head-on. The moment the red blood knife and the wind splitting knife collided, the golden light of the red blood knife began to shatter inch by inch, and then The two swords really collided together.

The Red Blood Knife is very light, so light that it is almost the same weight as a feather arrow, so Huang Zhong was able to bite the Scarlet Blood Knife effortlessly with his teeth just now, but such a light Scarlet Blood Knife was in conflict with Xu Chu's heavy Wind Splitting Knife. When they collided, they didn't miss the wind at all. Sparks flashed past, and the two staggered apart. Then they turned around and slashed backwards, and collided again to create a string of sparks.
